If you do not agree to all of these terms and conditions, please do not access or otherwise use this web site or any information contained on this web site.

1. Privacy

ARTS CORPS respects your privacy. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily provide it, such as when you provide email contact information to subscribe to our newsletter, send feedback to us, or respond to a survey. If you voluntarily provide your email address or other contact information, we might also use it to inform you of changes to ARTS CORPS, to survey you about your use or opinion of ARTS CORPS, or to ask for your support. At your request, we will remove your contact information from our files.

We do not make your contact information or any other personally identifiable information available to anyone outside ARTS CORPS unless we are legally required to do so.

In addition to the above, we collect certain anonymous (non-personally identifiable) information to help us improve the ARTS CORPS web site.

  • We collect information you provide about your use of and satisfaction with ARTS CORPS through email you send us and through ARTSCORPS surveys, whether or not you voluntarily include your contact information.
  • We may use web analysis tools that are built into the ARTS CORPS web site to measure and collect anonymous session information.
  • Like many websites, we use “cookies,” which are files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your browser. Cookies help us to optimize user experience. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Our website never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies “turned on” so that we can offer you a better experience on this website.
  • We never use or install spyware on your computer, nor do we use spyware to retrieve information from your computer

When we report information about ARTS CORPS access, use, and impact, we report aggregate, non-personally identifiable data. Occasionally, we report quoted feedback from users. We do not attribute feedback to specific individuals unless we obtain permission to use that person’s name along with the feedback.
